Is full HCM testing required before Prod update?
Summary:
Seeking Oracle’s official guidance on whether full regression testing is mandatory before promoting a quarterly update to the Production environment for HCM Cloud.

Dear Oracle Support,
As we prepare for the upcoming quarterly update (e.g., from 25B to 25C), could you please confirm if it is required to perform full regression testing across all Oracle HCM modules—such as Payroll, Absence Management, Talent Management, and Core HR—before applying the update to our Production environment?
Or is this level of testing is not mandatory?
We would like to ensure that our approach aligns with Oracle's official guidance to avoid unnecessary effort while mitigating any potential risk to system performance or data integrity.
